Football, movies, birthdays, weekend with girlfriends, oh my

First of all my Tennessee Titans are now 12-1. In this time of everyday bad news it is good to have some distractions that make me smile and this is one. I have been a fan no matter how the season has gone but it is definitely more fun to have a winning team.
Second I kind of played hooky today from work and went to the movies. Okay I actually wasn't quite feeling up to par but probably could have toughed it out but decided that I needed a day. I did a little decorating which perked me up and then made my way to see Four Christmases since it had been #1 at the box office the past two weekends and I love both Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn. I like the movie (didn't love it) but it was worth the matinee. I think I figured out part of the problem. There were a lot of funny things in the movie but it didn't have a laugh track and there were only two other people in the theater so you didn't really get the energy from other people.
Third I spent part of the past weekend on a girlfriends getaway at a state park. We had a hoot talking, walking, eating and playing games. One of the funniest things was when one of the girls gave everyone one of these lips. We all had a great time having our pictures made
while wearing these lips. Who knew something so simple could be such fun.
Fourth I just had a birthday a week ago. I truly can't believe I am on into my 50's I truly don't feel any older than 35 (o.k. maybe 40). I don't mind the birthdays except they are just a reminder that I better get busy because I have a lot left to do in this life.
